QUOTES FROM Alden Ehrenreich CHARACTERS

They keep re-enacting the Civil War like it's gonna turn out different.

You still don't get it, do you? I don't wanna be any further away from you than I am right now. One way or another... Love is a risk for anybody... Go ahead, kill me.

My momma says there's two types of people that live in Gatlin, the people too stupid to leave and the ones too stuck to move.

Don't worry, you'll find it, just look under how not to turn into your mother.

Ethan Wate

Everybody has to deal with shit in their lives, Lena. You wanna be a normal human what do you think that is? We don't have to change anything anytime we want. Bein' human is feelin' bad, it's feelin' pissed off, it's feelin' scared, it's not you bein' able to do anything about it until you don't feel that way anymore till you can see your way out of it. And I yelled at you because I care about you, that's what normal people do who love each other! When one of them is actin' like a brat! Now would you please stop rainin' on me.

Ethan Wate

LENAAA!!!

Ethan Wate

No! I'm sick of listenin' to your family. I have been chased, spun, hypnotized, paralyzed, and damn near killed by your family. I have been goin' out of my mind for the past two weeks, then your mother shows up on my door step and damn gives me a heart attack but you know what I don't care about them, about the curse, you are not goin' dark and you are not losin' me! No matter what they do, no matter what they do to me, I'm still here.

Ethan Wate

I'm agreein' with you!. Ok, I'm just a dumb ass mortal who can't make his own thunder, but I know there's no way we're gonna figure this out unless you stop feelin' so damn sorry for yourself! Go ahead! Start an earthquake, see where that gets you.

Ethan Wate

Memories are erased. One looked back at the sign. I remembered. I remembered you. Every moment we spent together. The secrets we kept. Everything came floodin' back into my heart.
